User reviews

Users appreciate this Chrome extension for restoring the classic Twitter blue bird logo and old interface elements, helping them cope with Twitter's rebranding to X. It generally works well and improves user experience by replacing 'Post' with 'Tweet' and other branding text. However, there are recurring issues including the need to update the extension due to Twitter moving from twitter.com to x.com, inconsistent color adaptation to display settings, overbroad text replacements changing context inappropriately, and some remaining rebrand elements like 'Premium' or 'X' labels not fully reverted. Minor UI glitches are also reported but overall users value the extension.

Pros

Effectively replaces the X logo with the traditional Twitter blue bird logo, restoring the old Twitter look.
Generally works well and provides a sense of normalcy for users dissatisfied with Twitter's rebranding.
Good and faithful restoration of Twitter's original interface elements, satisfying many users.
Users appreciate the extension's ability to replace "Post" labels with "Tweet" in most places, improving the experience.
The extension is appreciated for making Twitter look more familiar and less 'ugly' after the rebrand.

Cons

The extension sometimes fails to work properly due to domain changes from twitter.com to x.com, requiring updates to keep functioning.
Color scheme inconsistencies persist; the replaced Twitter bird logo remains blue regardless of user's display settings or dark mode.
Some text replacements are overly broad, replacing words like "post" with "tweet" even in inappropriate contexts within tweets or elsewhere.
Various UI elements related to the rebranding are not consistently restored, such as 'Premium' still showing instead of 'Twitter Blue', and certain other labels still showing 'X' branding.
Occasional minor UI glitches occur, like the tweet button temporarily reverting or home button state not reflecting properly.

It is great, but could you make the color change with the color you choose in display settings, as well as if you change it to dark mode?

A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
